MUSIC AND DRAMA.
TIE OLD HOMESTEAD


Tonight Denman Thompson and his Sc
lected company will appear for the first time
in this city in his new play, 1.-THE Old Home
stead" When we first see Josh in the new
play he is on his old farm at Swanzey. N. H..
in haying time. There are visitors from the
city there who have royal welcome. Josh
bustles about, happy himself and making
everybody else so; chatting with that incor-
rigible old humbug, Cy Prime; befriending a
forlorn. but good-humored tramp, and giving
his attention to the details of farm work.
But his mind is burdened with misgivings.
He has not heard from his boy in New York
for months. So, in the autnmn he goes to
New York with his guests, makes himself at
home as well as he can, in the paatial home
Of Henry Hopkins, his old mate in the little
red school house, who has become a million
aire, and searches in the busy streets for his
lost boy. At last, by the aid of the reformed
tramp, he finds him, wreck, starts him
afresh in life, and returns to Swanzey to
walt patiently for the new year, when Reu-
ben shall return to the old homestead. And.
on New Years eve, when the old kitchen is
lighted by the blazing logs on the hearth. the
neignbors drop in, Cy and Seth wrangle to.
gether as they have wranged for thirty
years, and when Reuben comes, well and
strong and prosperous, there is jolly feast,
followed by rollicking dance. 1t is all very
homely, but merry and touching and true.
There has been a large advance sale of seats
but good ones can still be secured for tonight
and tomorrow night.
